I have a couple mech engineers that will call me, mad, if I'm too high on a bid. saying "now I have to work with company x, damn you chris, you couldn't have done it cheaper?" lolnope
Part of my point right there... The guy wants to do business with you but won't because of the price... even if you provide better business...

9/10 times its up to the owner, not the architect

*edit*

which can be good, if the owner knows the lowest price isn't always the best

You can't do that! He would get in trouble! Bids have to be open when the project is in the public spectrum. If it's something residential, that's fine.

There's a ton of regulations because they need to give all parties a fair shot, and make sure it doesn't create a mini-construction monopoly in areas. That's why contractors have to duke it out.

Example: I mentioned HUBs earlier...Historically Underused Businesses. You have to have a minimum number of bids of minority and woman owned businesses for state jobs, or your *** is grass!

One of the funny things about HUBs though, is that most men will just list their wife as the head of the company so they can receive HUB status, and therefore, be offered more bidding opportunities.

Sneaky sneaky!

What's even funnier is if you ever meet with some not all of these Wifey-McBigBoy-Britches pawns they have no clue what's going on in "their" company.

yep, it's sure possible. when there are small differences in price, you know all bids are probably good/valid. it's when numbers get wonky that you have to be careful.

ex. = company a = 156,000
company b = 152,000
company c = 158,400
company d = 76,600

I'd be damn leary of company d in that example.

A company here, the owner married a native american woman, now he can get in on the HUB stuff as well as the set-aside for native-americans.

That's obviously them fudging numbers to win a bid. LOL! Got to love those people.

POST 35,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would buy Company D and undercut for 150k

Not really what we're talking about. You don't "buy" them. That's just the estimate for their portion of the work involved in projects.

Yeah... plus I dislike the idea that if something goes wrong there's little to nothing around to help you... especially when you get lost and wander off lol...
